A Dream Come True

RedCrest Cardinal is a gorgeous venue and after you go there in person it will not take much convincing because the landscape, simple beauties and organic environment speak for itself. Anne Marie (who is the Sales Director and our event coordinator) was our Wedding Fairy Godmother. We clicked with her right from the beginning because her expertise, understanding, patience, patience...and did I mention - PATIENCE, were all bundled under a motherly care. She never made us feel bad about any of our requests and it was a pure joy to walk through wedding planning with her. The staff were so helpful and thanks to them, the day ran without a hitch. The ceremony was under the pergola with a small pond as the backdrop and it was breathtaking. The sound of our live musicians were caught perfectly in that space and the assistance of the golf carts offered our guests ease of access. Our cocktail hour split between the patio and the Clubhouse which gave our guests options and lots of room to mingle comfortably. Our reception was in the tent and perfectly fit our 135 guests between round tables and harvest tables. Our family and friends said it was one of the best weddings they had been to and spoke to the abundance and quality of the food and the kind service. We look back on our Wedding Day with full hearts and gratitude that RedCrest was the home to our best and favourite day. Thank You RC! (Photographer: Liana Yates from Birch and Lace)

Poor Planning Post-Covid

We had an awful time with this venue. We booked Redcrest back in January 2020 prior to the Covid pandemic when they were under a different management company. We had heard great things about this venue - including the food, wedding planning and coordination. It is a beautiful location.

After patiently waiting out the worst of the pandemic for two years, my partner and I were finally able to have our celebration of marriage at this venue in June 2022. Prior to our wedding date though we went through many significant challenges with this venue. In March 2022 we attended a food tasting and were matched with a wedding coordinator through the venue - then two weeks later we were informed that the catering company was fired along with the coordinator. We waited patiently for two months and heard nothing from the venue despite multiple communications with them, before finally being matched with a
a new wedding coordinator in May 2022. Thankfully all seemed to be going well as they had the catering organized for the event which was our most significant concern. However, 3 days before our wedding we were informed that this new wedding coordinator had been fired by the venue, with no back up plan in place! Thankfully our wedding was still able to go forward - had it not been for the chef and golf services manager at the venue who pulled in many hours overtime to put our special day together. The wedding was great and all of our guests had a wonderful time.

This being said it was not worth the stress of having to go through this. I really highly recommend for couples to steer clear of this venue. While it is a beautiful space, the new management there cares little about their staff and will cut corners at any cost. It is wise to look elsewhere for your special day.

This has been a long road

We hired Cardinal back in September of 2020 when there were promises of great food, service and overall look. One of the many reasons we chose Cardinal was because it looked like a great venue- you didn’t need much in terms of decor so figured it was a great cost effective venue as it was all encompassing (great price for food, great venue coordinator team and experienced team). Little did we know that the main Venue coordinator/team would leave, the chef gone, and the replacement catering service company would be fired). Right when we thought the team had everything figured out, there was a big menu tasting, 2 days later we get notified that the team has been fired and they’ll be in touch when they have a new team. 2 months go by and we still don’t hear anything- we finally get word that they hired a wedding coordinator and a chef, but the chef wouldn’t do wedding food. We were told by head of operations it was in our best interest to hire an external catering company (at the same time the new wedding coordinator also left). With that suggestion, we also looked into an external wedding planner. So our total budget increased drastically and the team at Cardinal had no care or sense of helping making our big day special.

Honestly, the entire experience with this venue was so poor and it made the wedding planning experience so much more stressful than it needed to be

The look of the venue is great, but if I had one suggestion for any new bride if you go with the venue, make sure you have a wedding planner that will handle everything (including communication with the venue).

Dream Wedding

Gina the wedding coordinator was amazing and very hands on! She took care of a lot of the small details like decorating and organized tastings. The venue is georgous and requires little decoration by you. We had an outside ceremony and the backdrop is spectacular! Green grass and a pond with a fountain. The mini golf area has several spots for photos. Food is included at this venue and my guests are still talking about how delicious it was!

Amazing Experience and Customer Service!

We really cannot say enough about how positive our experience with RedCrest was. AnneMarie was amazing to work with- always responsive, helpful and supportive. Everything went so smoothly because of how organized and on top of things the staff were. The venue is beautiful, the food was great, and the level of customer service you receive with this venue is outstanding.

Beautiful venue!

Gina and her team at Cardinal went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding day. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We had the whole 1st floor to ourselves - the North Hall where we held our reception, and the east and west wings where our guests had access to the photo booth, open bar and cocktails, etc. We had close to 200 guests and we all fitted in the spacious venue comfortably. Throughout the planning process, Gina kept in touch with us and was very patient to answer the million questions that we had. She is extremely professional and easy to work with, I highly recommend Gina and Cardinal Golf Club for all events!

Thank you RedCrest!

We had our ceremony and reception at RedCrest in October 2017. Ceremony was outside and was absolutely beautiful. Our reception was in the tent and was beyond expectations. Anne Marie and her team went above and beyond with attention to every detail.. they really made our day go so smoothly! From driving us around on golf carts for pictures, cleaning my muddy heels, organizing us for the ceremony, and pulling off a seamless reception dinner. Our guests still rave about the food and how beautiful the venue was! We absolutely recommend this venue to others - Anne Marie was a pleasure to work with from the start and was always great with responding to questions and offering advice.

We were married at Cardinal Golf club in the Executive Lounge and we had an amazing experience. We had both our ceremony and reception in the same room and it was absolutely perfect for the intimate setting we were looking for. The food was amazing! All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was as well as the appetizers.
The staff at cardinal was great and were super friendly and attentive to all our guests. Gina, our coordinator was absolutely wonderful and really helped make this day so perfect for us.

On June 6, 2015 my husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at RedCrest Golf Course.
We could not have been more happy with this venue!

We had our ceremony outdoors by the pond which is a beautiful spot!
The grounds of the golf course are gorgeous and provide lots of picture opportunities. There is a really beautiful rustic looking barn at the entrance where our wedding party took many photos. One of the staff members even took us on a golf cart to the barn so we didn't have to walk!

The reception was held in the clubhouse which is stunning. It seats at most 80 people so it was the perfect spot for our wedding of 65 people. It is intimate, clean and rustic looking with beautiful wood beams, fireplace and large windows. They also have a really nice tent option for larger weddings.

We chose the plated dinner option with open bar. There was also a cocktail reception before dinner where hors d'oeuvres were passed around along with signature drinks. We even had a sushi station!
All the food was absolutely delicious! We received so many compliments. You get to do a tasting before your wedding and there is no bad choices. Everything is so good and beautiful presentation!

The staff were amazing! We received so many compliments on them because of how nice and attentive they were.
A big thank you to Anne Marie who was our wedding coordinator. She met with us many times before the big day and it is clear she has been doing this along time and really knows her stuff! She is very detail oriented, calm and easy to work with as is all the staff.

Pricing is also very reasonable especially considering how much is included in the packages and the quality of everything is outstanding.

At the end of our wedding everyone was so impressed with the venue itself, the food, and the service! I am SO happy that we chose RedCrest!

Thank you RedCrest for giving us our dream wedding!!!

Lisa and Josh
